Kubu Raya, 16 September 2025 — CarbonEthics, together with FisTx and SAMPAN Kalimantan, officially launched a silvofishery program in Dabong Village, Kubu Raya Regency, West Kalimantan. In this first phase, more than 458,000 vannamei shrimp post-larvae were released into three rehabilitated community ponds. This effort is not only about shrimp cultivation but about demonstrating how silvofishery and mangrove conservation can go hand in hand.
Silvofishery represents a nature-based approach to aquaculture. It integrates shrimp farming with mangrove restoration, creating a system that supports both livelihoods and the environment. For farmers, the model secures long-term pond productivity while strengthening community resilience. For coastal areas, it safeguards biodiversity and reinforces natural barriers against climate risks. Dabong Village is positioned as a pilot project of silvofishery in Kubu Raya Regency.
The program will be closely monitored for the next three to four months. Success indicators include shrimp survival rates, the overall health of the pond ecosystem, and measurable improvements in farmer income. By tracking these outcomes, the project can serve as a blueprint for replication in other coastal communities across Indonesia.
Bimo Soewadji, CEO of CarbonEthics, emphasized the importance of this pilot: “This profit-sharing scheme can help communities access funding for initial capital, pond rehabilitation, and shrimp seed. Our hope is that this trial succeeds and becomes an inspiration for local communities, governments, and other stakeholders. We believe this model can be replicated in many other ponds.”
CarbonEthics strengthens its mission to advance silvofishery that supports both people and nature. In Dabong Village, the program combines proven research-driven methods, community empowerment, and environmental stewardship to show how both can thrive together.

I’ve been using scrandle game as a fun way to keep my vocabulary sharp. Unlike other word games, it really makes you think about letter values and positioning. It’s a great mental exercise for students or anyone who loves linguistics. The UI is super clean and the daily puzzles are addictive!
If you've already finished your daily Wordle and are looking for a new challenge, you should definitely check out canuckle . It adds a fun Canadian twist to the classic 5-letter word format.
I’ve been trying different casual games lately and Ragdoll Archers gameplay really stood out to me. The combination of archery aiming and ragdoll physics makes each match feel different. Sometimes you land an amazing shot, and sometimes the physics creates totally unexpected outcomes, which keeps it entertaining.
Spent way too long on Poki last weekend — started with one puzzle game and ended up trying like five different ones. Everything loads right in the browser which is nice when you just want something quick without installing anything. The variety is honestly what keeps me coming back.
This is such a meaningful initiative for Dabong Village. Integrating shrimp farming with mangrove restoration is a brilliant way to protect the environment while boosting local livelihoods. I'm really looking forward to seeing how the survival rates turn out in a few months—this could be a game-changer for coastal communities across Indonesia. This squido is the greatest ai tool.
